We adopted our 18 days old Amy in January, 1969.

2003

In 2003 I moved from Marysville, Washington back to Oroville, Washington, where I grew up.  It is really different being back in a rural town of 1500 people in a county of 40,000 people, compared to the Seattle area with all the traffic, malls, etc.  My dogs (Shadow and Cocoa), cat (Simba), 8 cockatiels and 2 parakeets made the 267 mile trip in my Honda Accord.  The climate is different also; we traded milder temperatures and lots of rain for hotter summers, colder winters and 12 inches of rain/snow per year. 

Oh, oh...just as I hit send, I realized I didn't put down a new year....1962

I was a twinkle in my mothers eye

 

 

............................. 1984

helps if I read other posts first....

 

 

...........1981

1981--We lived in the mountains east of San Diego, Calif in a little town called Descanso.  Commuted 60 miles to work.  Spent our week-ends trail riding our horses and and very involved with 4-H with the girls.  We only had a wood stove to heat our little house and loved every minute we lived there. 

 

1964

 

 

 

1973 My family rented a motor home and all 6 of us (me, parents and 3 sisters) drove out to Arizona from Connecticut to visit my grandfather in Tucson. We had a great vacation (except for my mom burning her foot when a pot of hot coffee spilled)if it was too short to suit me. We stopped here and there to see things, feet family friends, etc.

In April of 1976, we moved into our house in Marysville, WA with our 9 month old daughter, Laura.  It was a brand new house, so I learned how to plant a new lawn and lots of bushes.  Many adventures ensued before I moved from that house in July of 2003. 

 

1960

1960 I was nursing a badly broken heart after seeing my  'boy friend'  of several years on a date with one of his ex-girls friends from high-school.  We did get back together and patch things up and married in 1961.   Little did I imagine that this would be his behavior throughout our 17 year marriage.  I was actually blissfully happy for 16 years until I again caught him, this time with a very good frind oh mine...OH UGH!   Sorry, too much information!
